WATT PUPPY 3/2 WHAT AMPLIFIER?TWEETER


I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO TIGHTEN THE BASS ON THE 2'S. CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST AN AMPLIFIER TO MAKE THOSE DRIVERS MOVE? ALSO, I LOVE THE 3 OLD FOCAL TWEETER - MANY PEOPLE UPGRADED TO THE 5'S TITANIUM TWEETER - IS IT A MORE MUSICAL UPGRADE IF I GO FOR THE 5 MID AND TWEETER CONVERSION?

Every time I have heard the wilsons at a dealer they have always been on Mark Levinson Equipment. The new series Levinson has tremendous bass control. Good luck
Hi,

It would help if we knew which amp and speaker cable you're using now. My own experience with the tweets on WATT 3 is that the original is laid-back and fatigue-free; the new one is more detailed, but needs to be calmed down a bit.
Best of luck,
Joe
I used the Electrocompaniet 120 on my III's a lot of current and balanced sound. Stay away from the V upgrade - a friend of mine went to it and back again.
I have heard the 3/2 at length with several amplifiers. They sounded great in the bass with the Bryston 4BST, almost as good but fuller with the ARC D300 in the bass, and the Music Reference RM9 MKII was a good match. This using the Cardas Hex 5 golden. The Straightwire Maestro also worked well. The best cable bet is the matching MIT with the Tail. For maximum slam, the Bryston 4BST or better yet the 7BST will deliver. The other choices are very good too. I tried a Sonic Frontiers SFS80 also. Good midrange, but the bass was weak. Good luck, and listen to all the amps you can. The speakers are ruthlessly revealing. Levinson gear has traditionally been very good. Spectral will also be good. Happy listening, Jeff
